12/2 - the Boardwalk is about ten minutes or less walking distance from the BC.Okay I'm going to ask for some logistical help here. I have no idea about distances and travel time at Disney so need to gauge some stuff. Can someone help? (I know there's a Transportation board, but y'all are my homies.)
12/2 - arrive at BC. We plan to grab dinner at the Boardwalk - I know it's walking distance. Is it far? How long will it take? Asking because if DD is exhausted we can just grab something at Beach marketplace but I hear that place is a pretty crappy QS.
12/3 - HS - I know you can walk or boat, and both are about 25 min. If I have a ppo 8:05 breakfast what time should I leave the resort? Do the boats leave from Yacht Club?
12/4 - MK - We have EMM so we want to be there around 7:35am or so to get through security etc. I am debating taking ME or using Uber. How long of a ride is it to MK? I know busses will be running but not sure what the schedule is. I'm thinking it might just be safer to Uber over but not sure what time we'd need to leave BC.
Then after FOF parade we are going to head to the Poly for a break. DD is going to the kids club and we have dinner at Kona. Take the monorail to Poly? We will likely be done our dinner by 8:30pm and so we'll pick DD up at 9pm. We have an early morning the next day so I'm thinking Uber from Poly to BC because I think I'd need to go back to MK to get a bus to BC and that seems complicated after a long day.
12/5 - EASY. Walk to Epcot! We have a 7:30am Cape May but it's at BC so we don't need to leave our room until 7:25am which is nice. Is it about 10 min to Int'l gateway walking to BC? Keep in mind DD is a slow walker. We want to get there for RD to see Joy and Sadness and then plan to work out way to the Land, Imagination, and then cross over to Mexico and Norway, stopping in China and then going back to Int'l gateway for a break. We'll come back for dinner at Katsura Grill - how long should I allow for this? we plan to eat and then watch Illumniations from somewhere in the WS.
12/6 - Epcot again so walking. DH requested we do Akershus lunch instead of breakfast (but I'm still nervous about releasing my PPO breakfast reservation there...I need to get over it). So that reservation isn't until 1:25pm but I have a FP for FEA at 12:25pm so I plan to go to the park for that. I figure we'll grab breakfast at Les Halles on the way in and walk our way over to Norway, meet A&E (again), ride FEA and then eat lunch at Akershus. But other than that we don't have anything else scheduled at Epcot. DD is going to the kids club again and we have a date night. So I'm thinking maybe either going to the park early (like 9:30amish for breakfast) and then walking through WS doing the character meets (Belle in France, Jasmine and Aladdin in Morocco, Snow White in Germany, Mulan in China) on the way to Norway. But I'm wondering if this plan is redundant depending on who the princesses are at Akershus (I know Belle is there, and usually Snow White, and sometimes Jasmine and Mulan). I don't want DD to get confused! So I could do the WS on the way back from lunch (I figure done by 3pm) but I don't think that will give us enough time. I'd rather have breakfast in France and work our way over to Norway through WS in the morning I think...it gives us about 3 hours to get there. (I think I had better buy Character Locator from KtP). So then maybe after lunch walk back to Int gateway, drop kid off at club, and then date night (we don't have an ADR - I think we'll just snack around WS and take a more leisurely look at stuff we missed with DD).
12/7 - MK - this is kind of our overflow day for MK - we have FP for HM at 12:25pm so we can sleep in if we want to (and honestly I've left it open in case DD still wants to do the Pirate Cruise in the morning) - since we'll stay for Wishes it will be a late night so I want us to have a relaxed morning. I cancelled my Skippers Canteen dinner so now I'm not sure where we're going to have supper (We'll have breakfast in room and lunch is BOG). I was hoping to get the Plaza but can't seem to get in! Am tempted to book Tonys just because we'll watch Elsa light the castle and then eat dinner but I think the better bet will be to try for Plaza OR walk up to Columbia HH.
12/8 - MK - we will Uber to Poly first as we have 'Ohana breakfast at 10:30am and then monorail to MK? our first FP is Talking Mickey at 12:20pm and then we need to head to Pirates League for 1:15pm. I'm thinking after that we can grab a bite at Pecos Bill and we're mostly staying in Fronteirland area. We have a dinner reservation at 1900 Park Fare and I think @Lisa F mentioned taking the boat to GF. then Uber back to BC to pack up and get ready for early departure the next day.
So what do you all think? This was long but I think my plans are FINALLY getting close to finished!!!
12/3 The Friendship boat pull up to the boat docks exactly one hour before the park opens. I think it sits and loads for a few minutes before it moves on to Swan/Dolphin. If you catch the first boat then it should be about a half hour trip to DHS. Walking will take 25 minutes.
12/4. The bus to MK takes about 15 minutes once it leaves the BC. The buses start running before 7am usually. If you decide to take a taxi the give yourself at least 20 minutes for the ride and 15 miles for the walk from CR to MK
12/6 Epcot. The World Show case doesn't open until 11am with a couple of exceptions.
And thanks a bunch!
